VALUEV V HAYE , TEN YEARS AGO.

Valuev was the boss. Haye's work didn't impress me, was too sporadic and surface. It was close but the champ won.

Haye did his usual chatting before the fight of course, what he was going to do bla bla bla. That's what got me mad. OK, if he'd have crashed in there he'd have probably been kod but he did just enough imo but not in a encouraging manner. He probably remembered been stopped by the big Cat Thompson!

Haye always did a lot of that. He talked a great game but (at heavyweight) he delivered precious little. His best result was stopping Chisora who's little better than a fringe contender and a washed up Ruiz.

He got overrated out of all proportion to his achievements on account of his big mouth. It was always he was going to obliterate this or decapitate that but if he didn't pull out with injury he simply didn't deliver. Even as late as the Bellew fights when he'd ceased being relevant at heavyweight he was doing it and getting unwarranted attention because of it.
